The One-Armed Executioner Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
robertoii_suarez The movie "One Armed Executioner is a low budget flick that was theatrically released in North America and opened at No. 15. Quite an achievement for a Filipino film.Visit the website of bavatuesdays 1983 was a great year for film on 42nd streetThe movie has some flaws but there is no such thing as a perfect movie. Even in real life we have some regrets and no one can claim that he has lived a perfect life. So far the movie has received some positive feedback from people who have seen the movie. We of course cannot expect something real big from a modest film but what I have said earlier the film throughout the years has made a tremendous achievement. Even the most expensive movies did not escape the eyes of people who are really trying very hard to see something wrong in a movie.Below is one to such an example:www.fulldhamaal.com funny pictures the silly mistakes in Hollywood movies
Woodyanders A group of evil drug-dealing mobsters dismember Interpol agent Ramon Ortega (stolid wonder Franco Guerero) and kill his lovely wife Ann (fetching blonde Jody Kay). Ortega sinks into a grim morass of self-pity and alcoholism prior to undergoing extensive grueling martial arts training so he can exact a harsh revenge on the bad guys. Ineptly directed by Bobby A. Suarez, with an on and off plodding pace, clumsily staged action set pieces (the amazing crippled fu fight stuff is a hilariously tacky joy to behold!), a cruel tone, shoddy gore, startling moments of brutal violence (Ortega shoots one nasty hood right in the groin!), amusingly lousy dubbing, poor acting, and icky moments of cloying sentiment (the sappy flashbacks showing Ortega with his wife are sickeningly mushy), this flick overall sizes up as an enjoyably crummy hunk of rancid dime-store junk. Nigel Hogge hams it up shamelessly as Texas-accented main villain Edwards while Joe Zucchero contributes a funny turn as Edwards' obsequious smartaleck flunky Milo. Jun Pereira's widescreen cinematography offers several clunky zooms and makes occasional strained use of strenuous slow motion. Gene Kauer's get-down funky score hits the right-on groovy spot. Fun schlock.
EyeAskance Charmingly unpurified nonpareil evincing the titular "one armed executioner" character who is, surprisingly, the protagonist of the story. Between swallows of beer...hopefully lots of them...you'll be sounding off in ebullient support of his virulent vigilante mission...to destroy the evil mobsters responsible for stabbing his pretty wife to death and leaving him...well...erm...disarmed.Are you hungry for a film which guiltlessly sacrifices the fine points of quality, integrity, and tact in order to bring you multifarious stripes of misconduct and a lion's share of karate-chopping action? If you answered "YES", then put on a bib and dig in. If you answered "NO", then here's a piece of gum, now get the Hell out of my kitchen.
brando5092 Yeah, We all have seen some of those real good modern martial arts movies and they are all well and good (Like things with Chow Yun-Fat or Jackie Chan) but we must not forget these types of movies--low budget laugh marathons...OK so not many people have seen this neat little Drive in second feature (as in the type of movie that would of played at the local drive in as a second feature for like 10 years...but would of never shown at a big movie theater chain)maybe it's because the acting is bad (it's really not Hepburn-Tracy if you get my drift) and the script is so first grade it makes you smile at times...or maybe because the music sounds like something lifted right off "Debbie Dose Dallas" (a.k.a--Porn music)..but this little revenge ditty had something more--A better feel...the effects are so late 70's--early 80's it's unreal...but it really works to the films advantage...like if you get a big movie with big stars you expect something more...with a low budget it's not expected...but this one delivers for some reason. Maybe it's all the low key, cheap acting and what seems to be a child written script that makes it one of the funniest (not intentionally...but enjoyable)movies that you can spend a night laughing at (especially "Jason")while still cheering for the "One-Armed Executioner" himself. The movie was released by Paragon and their the company who always had the same 2 or 3 trailers before each of their features which alone makes it worth the rental price (as in you can really get a good laugh at some of the movies someone bought the rights to and actually promoted)...I got mine for 2 dollars and it was worth every penny because when ever I need some real neat-o low budget fun I pop it in sit back and smile while at the same time cheer for Ortega...You've walked past it in the action section a million times...next time try picking it up...You may be surprised!!Happy Watching
